In this forum, I recommend that you go straight to the accounts of Satoshi and Hal Finney and Adam Back and all those who played very important roles in the early formation years of Bitcoin.
And then there's also Satoshi Nakamoto Institute. You will find there the cryptography mailing list emails. You have to remember that this forum came a bit late. When Satoshi first brought up the idea of Bitcoin, it was through this email.

OP, read this and just click "next" until the end, https://learn.saylor.org/mod/book/view.php?id=30735&forceview=1
It's a good collection of information about Bitcoin's history/early days, AND the history and the philisophy of those digital currencies/technologies that were built before Bitcoin. After finishing the course, I'm very confident that it will give you the "why", not just the "what".

Hello,
I am currently helping with an in-depth research project looking into the early days of Bitcoin (2008-2011). The people involved and the interesting stories that happened to get us to where we are today.
Can anyone recommend any good sources of information or people who are experts to speak to?
Many thanks!

Why not contact @Theymos himself?
It's obvious that you should read satoshi.
Members like laszlo the Pizza Guy, and Hal and his Bitcoin and me (Hal Finney).
Some good threads to read:
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned any books--actual books, like in-print ones and also available on Kindle and wherever else. Does anybody read anymore?

I wasn't paying attention to anything related to bitcoin in the very early days (2009-2011) and became curious about this topic myself a while back. I first read Digital Gold by Nathanial Popper and found it to be quite informative.
The only other book I've read, which was good but kind of covered bitcoin history from a very Winklevoss-biased perspective, was Bitcoin Billionaires by Ben Mezrich. It was a juicier read by far, and I'm not putting it down by any means but it sounds like you want to do a deep dive into bitcoin's history. You ought to read some posts on this forum from the early days, because they are fascinating once you've gotten a feel for how it's like here now and how different those posts are by comparison.
Good luck!

You may not be able to meet the early Bitcoin developers one-on-one but you can easily find whatever information you will need on the internet with the right search tools.
As long as you are ready to learn well, search for it on this Forum, you should get the best from people's responses on the subject-related matter, read a few before and it was helpful
Learning of cryptocurrency is base on determination and seriousness because many people today have tried to know of bitcoin but they were discouraged on the way, so I believe that without determination you can not achieve your goals during the time of Learning cryptocurrency and especially bitcoin in question, do you that even though you give someone who wants to know about bitcoin link to study from the link, if the person doesn't have bitcoin in mind to acquire the knowledge,I believe the person cannot be compromise of Learning bitcoin. Sometimes I do be surprised of people who also be discouraged for not learning bitcoin with seriousness.

Here is a Thread 161 History of Bitcoin 2007-2014. Since this forum was founded by Satoshi (November 2009) and also discussion here has mainly been on bitcoin, I recommend you read this also The most iconic bitcointalk threads. History on Bitcointalk.
Contact BitcoinFX https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/bitcoinfx-30, if he cooperates with you, you will get detailed details, as he is the most active person and has historical information.

You sound like someone that is looking for where to learn more about BTC, which is a good thing for BTC users to know but I will advise you to be more focus on some of the things the senior members will refer you to in this platform or you can go through the past topic concerning BTC like what NotATether said which is the easiest way for newbies to know more about the history of BTC. I believe, you will get more respond that will make you to know more about what happened to BTC in the year 2008 and 2011 and how many people embraced great opportunity that made them to become great men and women in BTC investment.
Thanks for your response but to confirm, this is a book-level research project rather than a general beginner's guide to Bitcoin. I have, for example, read 15 books on Bitcoin and know that many interesting events (some of which happened on this forum) have not been discussed. Hence why I thought would check in here to see if people had some thoughts.

A good start would be by going to the Bitcoin Discussion list of topics (the one we're in right now) and sort them by date, in ascending order. There you will be able to see a lot of early developers and users, who possibly have emails and websites linked to their profiles which you can use as a jump-point to ask further questions.
